Suspended Ceilings

Suspended ceilings, also referred to as false ceilings, generally come in three types:

Exposed lay-in grid

Clip-in ceilings

M/F with plasterboard

Lay in grid

Lay in grid ceilings are the most commonly used. A 600 x 600mm or 1200 x 600mm grid is formed with a tile set within. A wide range of tiles are available to suit many situations.

Clip-in Ceilings

Clip-in ceilings are installed generally where the client does not wish to see an exposed grid or where access to the void is restricted. The metal tiles are clipped in to a “T” bar, giving a sleek appearance. Again, a wide range of tiles are available.

M/F Ceilings

M/F ceilings consist of a metal framework being installed and plasterboard fixed to the underside. The plasterboard is then taped and filled or skim plastered to give a monolithic appearance. Multi-layers of boards can be fixed to the framework but it is important to give consideration to loading and specific installation practice.

Feature Bulkhead

A bulkhead is a section of ceiling that has been dropped and boxed-in. Power cables, plumbing, electrical wires and ductwork can be concealed in a bulkhead. Special lighting features can be used in a bulkhead.
